Trump Asks Court AGAIN to Hold Jack Smith in Contempt for “Knowingly, Repeatedly and Blatantly” Violating Judge’s Order
President Trump once again asked Judge Tanya Chutkan to hold Special Counsel Jack Smith in contempt for violating her order staying all proceedings in the January 6 case against Trump.
Last month Obama-appointed Judge Tanya Chutkan paused Trump’s January 6 case in DC amid a dispute over the former president’s immunity argument.
“The prosecutors’ filings and productions, Docs 188, 191, attempt to achieve both of those unlawful goals,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in a motion accusing Jack Smith of “knowingly, repeatedly and blatantly violating this Court’s Stay Order.”
Trump’s legal counsel accused Jack Smith of illegally filing motions to flood the media with anti-Trump headlines.
“It is not a coincidence that the Biden Campaign, the prosecutors, and “sources” close to the prosecutors are all attempting to simultaneously flood the airwaves with matching anti-Trump rhetoric during the Stay,” Trump’s lawyers wrote.
